Ga. teen sentenced for oral sex w/ a teen ordered released

ATLANTA -- Georgia's Supreme Court today ordered the release a young man who was imprisoned for having consensual oral sex with another teenager.

The court ruled 4-3 that Genarlow Wilson's 10-year sentence was cruel and unusual punishment. Wilson was convicted of aggravated child molestation following a 2003 New Year's Eve party at a Douglas County hotel room where he was videotaped having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl. Wilson was 17 at the time.

He was also charged with raping another 17-year-old girl at the party but he was acquitted by a jury.
